Stone tools from Hiroshima's Kanmuri site show links to Eurasian 'Northern Route' Homo sapiens

Stone tools unearthed at the Kanmuri site in Hatsukaichi, Hiroshima, exhibit characteristics similar to "early blade tool assemblages" used by Homo sapiens on the Eurasian continent's "Northern Route." This discovery, following the 2024 find of Japan's oldest tools (42,300 years old) at the same site, suggests a new understanding of human migration and dispersal routes into the Japanese archipelago.
